Police said the shooting took place at Block 100 on Fourth Avenue around 2:44 p.m. Sunday.
Officials at the scene said it was a shooting and a bullet went straight through the window of a Jeep and hit the victim. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
During a press conference after the shooting, officials said the shooting was a targeted incident. The victim was not the intended target, but a passenger in the car.
Londell Falconer, 26, was arrested Monday morning in connection with the shooting. The criminal complaint says he was involved in another shooting and police went to the hospital and contacted him. He denied being on the North Side all Sunday, but later said he was visiting family in the Manchester neighborhood. He was shown video evidence of him coming out of the shooting vehicle in the city center on the North Side and said, “I was the driver.”
Anyone with information about Anger’s whereabouts should call 412-323-7161 or 911.
